    Cars of 2015 Radnor Hunt Races

    I had a chance to go to the 2015 Radnor Hunt Races in Malvern, Chester County PA, yesterday, and was able to take numerous images during the afternoon.

    I decided to break them up into groups…

    Here are some of the Cars –

    • Rolls Royce
    • Ferrari
    • 1940’s Chevrolet “Woody” (?)

    If you happen to have more details, please let me know!

  • 15th Wedding Anniversary!!

    15th Wedding Anniversary!!

    15 Years ago, today, my wife and I married at Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church.

    So with that in mind, here is a quick look back!

    As for “The Date“, honestly, we did NOT connect it to “Cinco de Mayo”, until years later!

    D’oh!

    Anyhow, would I do it again?

    Yes!

    The past is infinite, and as infinite, as the future…

  • Duct tape shoes

    During my early days in boarding school, it was not uncommon that near the end of the term, our clothing would start to get a little ragged.

    It was also not uncommon to see duct tape used in some very creative fashions.

    Since that time, I have seen duct tape used in everything from patching a wound to making a sailboat.

    But I returned to the humble beginnings of how duct tape is best known, with this visual example –

    Just another exciting example of what one can do with duct tape!

  • Stroud Head

    My son and I were walking in Stroud Preserve today, and while we were exploring the two small dams, I noticed this little ‘gem’ in the middle of the upper water way.

    Plastic Baby Head found during an early spring walk at Stroud Preserve in Chester County PA.

    Needless to say, finding a plastic baby doll head in the middle of the Preserve is a little odd, hence the reason for the picture.

    Updates

    After Posting this image to my Facebook page, I had someone from Stroud Preserve comment on the post

    Oh dear! I’ll let our preserve manager know there’s litter out there!

    As for the dry “ponds,” a few years back we restored the stream running through Stroud by removing the dams, which allowed land to convert from ponds (man-made and not good for water quality) to wetlands (more diverse than coral reefs and wonderful for filtering water). – Stroud Preserve

    To which I responded –

    Thanks for the contact. I should have known better than to use the term ‘pond’ so loosely!

    As for this little ‘gem’, it can be found in the larger of the two dam areas near 39°56’49” N 75°39’12” W, the upper one, walking up the dirt road…

    Has anyone else Found something Odd within the Preserve?

    I know, I LOST a lens cap a couple of years back, but…

    What have you found?

    April 8, 2015 – I volunteered at the Marsh Creek Sixth Grade Center, helping in their studies of Shamona Creek for science class. During the first session of the morning, while waiting for the students to arrive, I noticed a discarded car battery, laying with 10 feet of the creek.
